2 example of consistency: The progress bar in OS X and iOS is blue in
the dock and the rest of the system, and all the menu had rounded
corners. In Ubuntu this two examples fail.

On ground of consistency ur arguments are valid. but i agree with Fitoschido because the ambience is just a theme.if u change theme, then according to ur rationale, the color of badge and progress bar should be changed.

I think the consistency in iOS and OS X has to do with apple's own theme which is always consistent in look.
Hopefully we ll solve it in 12.10.

@Contempo: the visual output on the menu item of application/indicator is different from that of launcher's quicklist item. by hovering over the quicklist item. the white background is nicely cropped at the end. With this, the rounded corners are possible .But in the app/indicator the orange background is extended to the end. if we want rounded corners, then this is to be fixed together.
